What’s wrong with it?
Why isn’t it still just rounders? Same as American football… Why not just play rugby?
Did you change any of the soccer rules yet?
I wonder what changes the Americans would make to Dwile Flonking if they imported that noble sport. 
I’m a flute player, which means I’m often seen in public with fluids dripping from my mouth. In my case, there’s an expensive black wooden tube conducting the drip to a point beyond my own personal space before dropping it to the ground, but other than that I might as well be spitting. So baseball players spitting doesn’t bother me. Now, them getting paid big bucks to spit when I don’t, that bothers me. Also, they get more chicks than I do, even though they spit. Probably because they’re getting those big bucks, eh?
Probably add a coloured-belt ranking systtem.

Wow, I hadn’t ever heard of that. It seems silly.
I can’t find a mention of special dirt in the official rules

Do you have some source to back that up so I can have a good laugh? It just seems like something completely off the wall crazy. Granted, I don’t know anything about MLB baseball, since I don’t watch sports on TV, but that just sounds ridiculous.
Spitting? That’s baby food. What I wanna see is your occasional “farmer blow”. A nice, big honkin’ one.
What’s wrong with baseball is that I didn’t watch hardly any games this year, and when I did, in the last week or so, they were badly lopsided. In the ALCS, I saw a game where the losing team dropped TWO pop-flys in ONE GAME, then a guy got waved on then stopped at third base in a clutch situation. I mean, it was like GD’ed LITTLE LEAGUE!!! And the Series, well, it was just pathetic after halfway through the third game. Crikey. And I live in an area where both of the local pro football teams are just suckin’ bad this year AND the local Cinderella team (Cal) is falling faster than the dollar. Watching sports is shall we say, no longer an option, around here.
Weeks - it could be worse…
… you could have the Bengals as your team…
I’ve seen enough of those !!!
I was reminded of this - George Carlin’s take on baseball and football.
It is a half-truth. There isn’t an official MLB dirt. There is however, an official rubbing mud. This mud is used to rub all game use baseballs. The mud is New Jersey mud and contains a high level of feldspar. The baseballs have a high gloss on them that makes it difficult for pitchers to grip. Someone rubs mud on the new balls to get rid of the slick glossiness before they get used in a game.

NO BASEBALL CAN GO INTO A MAJOR LEAGUE game without being rubbed with Lena Blackburne mud. …
